Sort of my point. So is it too dumb, or too smart for its own good? There has to be a simple and effective solution to achieve what you're attempting. Just hafta find it..., and you will.
But isn't it ironic that there was literally no such thing as a 'false positive' until AI came along to eliminate them? Funny how that worked.
An alert is
literally a positive response to a trigger any way you want to cut it or define it. It is and never has been a false or negative response to a trigger or there would not have been a trigger to effect a response at all.
Unwanted alerts are just that, unwanted. They're still positive results to a pre-defined trigger that have been inaccurately termed "false positives" -- compared to what? Until AI came along,
nothing. There was either a useful alert, or a nuisance alert..., both
positive results of preset parameters to create the action.
So as a desperate and totally inaccurate term looking for an identity, along comes AI to the rescue providing absolute (or not) definition for the results of such resulting triggers. Like magic, alerts were
something now, (sorta like Navin Johnson in 'The Jerk'). LOL

So until AI, 'false positive' was nothing more than an oxymoron phrase coined to describe the frustration of what were more accurately just undefined positive nuisance alerts.
Now they have names..., in many cases wrong ones with completely inaccurate descriptions or definitions. They are
now literally
False Positives compared to what the predetermined configurations were designed to produce from a totally positive trigger and subsequent positively expected accurate alert.
"It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's a what?" "A groundhog?" Oops.
AI may eliminate the majority of unwanted nuisance alerts, but it has actually given legitimate life to the term 'False Positive' which technically didn't exist before it.
No reflection on you, Dodgeboy. Just a short rant I've been wanting to vent when an appropriate opportunity came along. This seemed like a good spot to sneak it in without creating too much stress for the AI masses. It just amazes me how much time, energy and money people spend on AI solutions to what in many cases are simple tasks easily handled by the basic BI tools and features.
